The Blue Planet III bought this as it reminded me of a research vessel I worked on back in 2007 called RRS Discovery.
The model itself is really impressive, and big, once it is completed. I spent about three days on it, building after work. It is a challenging build, which I like, and its great to see the scale of the ship increase, as you add the fore and aft sections of the hull and finally the bridge.
The designers have a done a neat job with the rear
rudder and on-board crane, and the way this moves by turning the small screws on the roof. The little helicopter is great fun as is the submarine, especially the moving propellers and sub sampling arms.
My only gripe is the heli-deck; it's far too big and high for this type of vessel; usually it would be on the rear.
I therefore modified my model to lower the heli-deck, and put in a replica rear sub-launch derrick on the back. I also added seats in the submarine and helicopter to make them more realistic. I've added photos...
This is superb value at this price point. Recommended!

Love itMy parents got me this set as a christmas present and it was love at first sight. I really enjoyed building it, started right away and was busy till 4 am. The little helicopter and submarine are kind of cute and I think you can actually fit a mini figure inside the cockpits. Haven't tried it yet but definitely will. The only negative is the heights of the helicopter platform. It is too big and doesn't really match the other parts of the ship but that is just a minor thing. I definitely would recommend it, I had a great time building it and will display it somewhere in my flat to remind my of its awesomeness!! Good job there LEGO!!!

Great fun to buildHaving finished the Bucket Wheel Excavator I was after something easier to build and Ocean Explorer ticked the boxes.
The small submersible and helicopter you build are clever for their size. The main build was straightforward but a little light on what I would call "Technic" functions. Even so the crane operation works well and the movement when the whole ship is pushed across a surface looks great and steers realistically which is excellent.
I slightly modified the kit by making some new name labels for fun.

Superb Set.One of my favourite Lego sets along with the Assembly Square and Yellow Submarine sets. After a 40 year hiatus from the brick I started working with children with autism and my childhood passion was rekindled. I love the colour scheme, I found it tricky due to the number of fiddly pieces but ultimately it was a very rewarding build. I took my time and built it over a couple of days. Thoroughly recommended to everyone who loves Lego.
